At Skyways we are building a new form of air transportation. Some people call it the flying car.

Our strategy to get there is completely different from the rest of the industry.
Skyways is a startup based in Austin, TX. We are backed by some of the most respected investors in Silicon Valley including YCombinator. Although we consider ourselves early-stage, we already have vehicles in production and in the hands of paying customers (see here and here).
